On Monday afternoon in Joplin, the arts and entertainment non-profit Connect 2 Culture hosted a launch party to announce that the organization has raised over 14-million dollars to go towards the construction of the Harry M. Cornell Arts And Entertainment Complex. The 14-million dollar milestone was important for C2C as it allows the organization to continue a memorandum of understanding with the city of Joplin which is providing the land at the intersection of S. Wall Ave and W. 7th St where the Cornell Complex is set to be built. Ms. Frankoski also said that the Cornell Complex is scheduled to be completed by the Spring of 2022.
